With Portland celebrating its 180th birthday tomorrow (November 19), my Trove Tuesday post this week is an article published in the Portland Guardian of October 15, 1934 prior to that year’s centenary celebrations. Superintendent Clugston of the police department offered some timely advice for those attending the week-long celebration. My favourite “don’ts” are “Don’t hurry or rush about”, “Don’t drive your car or other vehicle in a careless or improper manner and extend courtesy and consideration for all other road users” and “Don’t Guess”.
